    Solid 9, I did the same on my DIY except my wahl clippers came with instructions to go the other way. Start at the bottom with lower attachments and work up. I have cut my hair 3 times now and have to say I think the 1st cut was the best lol great video, stay safe out there.

    Great job Doc..the GFI outlet is for your protection while around the sink using an electric appliance. ... when you wet your hair the clippers may have tripped the breaker due to moisture seeping in the motor area...WHAL does not recommend wetting your hair using their clippers....thanks for the video.

    Snap..we have the same clippers, they are very good and the colour coated guards really help. I would recommend buying a thinning scissors to complete your set up. I'm 2 self haircuts into it and have learned from my mistakes and looking forward to number 3 in a week or 2. Barber shop fades are beyond me. I'm going to study the top scissors cut on CZcams somemore as that and the transition to the sides and back based on your head shape and type of hair is where the difficulty lies. Respect to all professional barbers out there🙏🤧😷😎
